Guatemala, Homeland of the Tz'utujil

The homeland of the Tz'utujil Mayan people is the country Guatemala, which is south of Mexico in Central America. More specifically, the Tz'utujil people live in the Lake Atitlan region. The enitre Guatemalan area is mostly moutanous and humid and the same goes for around the lake. Surrounding the Lake are three 10,000 foot volcanoes, Santiago, San Lucas and San Juan. The lake itself was formaed by a volcanic explosion, and is now known as one of the most beautiful lakes in the world.
